Natalee Holloway

Jim commented this morning about Venezuela and ‘White Slavery’ which is very interesting because the U.S. Department of State classifies Venezuela as a ‘Tier 3’ state in its 2005 ‘Trafficking In Persons’ report. The report says that Venezuela is a “source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor.” Venezuela is classified as ‘Tier 3’ because it does not comply with minimum standards to eliminate trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.

Update (9/7/2005 1:46pm):

No good news to report about Natalee Holloway. Joran Van Der Sloot was released from prison and has flown to Amsterdam. Prime Minister Nelson Odouber vows to continue the investigation.

Natalee’s family will certainly never give up the fight to find out what happened to her, but it looks hopeless at this juncture. With the prime suspects released, one of which has now fled the country, this case will go cold and be swept under Aruba’s rug so to speak…

Update (9/26/2005 6:42am):

Natalee’s Mom—Beth Holloway Twitty—says Joran, Deepak and Satish admit to having sex with Natalee. Joran conducted an interview with “A Current Affair” in Holland in which he also maintains his innocence.

One thought has crossed my mind more than once since Natalee disappeared but I kept it suppressed because it’s simply too terrible to think about. My thought ( I apologize in advance for any hurt it may cause) is that Amy Bradley may have passed away and those people needed a replacement. And they found Natalee.

This morning, the AP is reporting that Aruban authorities have closed the Natalee Holloway case. Her disappearance and probable murder may never be solved.

Her killers—whoever they are—will go scot-free. Well, almost. When they breathe their last breath and appear before the judge of all mankind, they will answer. The Bible says in Hebrews, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, John Q. Kelly said of Peter’s information, “it’s someone basically making admissions in terms of what happened the night Natalee disappeared, in terms of what happened to her and then why she’s disappeared, how her body was disposed of and why she hasn’t been found.”

I believe 9.30pm CET is 3:30pm EST (New York time).

Update 2/4/2008 8:41am:

According to documentation provided by Peter R. DeVries on his website, Joran and Natalee were having sex on the beach when she began having convulsions and died. With the help of a friend named Daury, they dumped her body at sea.

“A flight attendant for American Airlines from Miami said that a sniffer dog was traveling from Miami to Aruba and the officer with the dog had said that the cadaver dog as going to search fr the remains of Natalee Holloway. The flight attendant who lives in Fort Lauderdale said, ‘They think they’ve found where Natalee Holloway’s remains are, and they’re taking the dog down to confirm that.'”

A prosecutor in Aruba says he’s still looking for the tour guide who took a Lancaster County couple on a snorkeling trip.

They took pictures of what they say could be the remains of Natalee Holloway. The prosecutor tells CBS 21 news dive crews will not go back out into the water until they can find the
exact location where the picture was taken.

He also says he believes that the formation is coral and not Holloway’s remains.

Has any one ever thought about going to Denmark or wherever it is that Vandersloot is from and look into the brothels there? Thats where he supposedly went to when he was released to go home. She could be held captive there. With his connections anything is possible and my hope for her family”s peace is still strong.
God Bless The Holloways

Please someone check out Steve Cruez. He was the one that operated the Party Boat. If she was taken out to sea or to Venezuela he had the boat to do it with. He appears to be a shady character. I just watched the movie tonight. From the first day I saw Steve Cruez I have had a sick feeling. No I am not a Physic. Please Aruba do not close this case. Everyone in America cares about Natalie. She was the all around American girl and deserved better than she got from Aruba Jusdicial System. Still in my prayers. God knows what happened and alot of people will answer for this one day. The pain her parents have endured her brother and U S citizens is tremendous.

Vandersloot and his fellow useless to life walking Ebola friends have every knowing of where Natalee is and one can only hope that like my hero President Bush had the guts to do with other terrorists: get qualified people to torture those losers to the point that they will most certainly start giving immediate details! Piss on Vandersloot and his ilk and as always God bless Natalee and her Family

I believe This is what I really belived happend to mrs.Nathalie Ann Holloway, She’s very much ALIVE Today because “think about it” for a minute Or secound, if there was A TRUE crime in this. they would have found forenzic evidence
something by know if Nathalie was DEAD.
It’s a big cover up Joran Van der Sloot, Sold
Nathalie Ann Holloway for 10.000$ dollars to a
Venezuelan man who ‘wanted a blonde girl’ at
Tha time Jordan met that man at a Casino and
he wanted a blond girl.
Jordan is also involved in sex trafficking in
Thailand as we speak. People!!! think about it
This young lady is gorgious and very beautiful.
The night Jordan met nathalie and her Friends at
That BAR she was druged and out of it, then he made a Phone call to that person to meet him
at the Beach, and that’s when he sold
Nathalie Ann Holloway.
Everyone she’s alive and I trully believe that
We have the power the Internet to do everything
in our POWER to bring back home Nathalie to her
Parents.

And I think they deserve that very much, for US People to Act NOW and bring her HOME, before it’s
Really TOO LATE!! I am righting this STORY cause
To ME I believe she’s very much ALIVE! till this
Day February 09 2009 . we cant give up now, We
Will find Nathalie Ann Holloway.

I did not know Natalee but I recently watched at TV show on E news about her.

Im not sure if this theory occurd but I am pretty darn sure I have an idea of what happed.

I was watching the videos of the guy that was with her at the beach and his friend that was trying to dig the information out of him and it didnt make sence to me that he called his friend instead of 911. He odviously had something to do with it. He also stated that he tried to ressitate her, though he told his friend both these things “Yes I tried” and when his friend asked how he would know if she was dead he replied ‘me and my friend just stood over her and she looked dead’.

Come on people! If he wasnt guilty he would have at least checked for a pulse or breathing..one just doesnt panic and call their friend!

THIS IS MY THEORY:
At the night club where Natalee was last seen, the guy she apporched (I doubt she would have, especially the way he discribed it and also teens know better than to go up to some stranger in a night club and talk to them, especially without letting a friend know- though I know nothing of how the girl behaved but Im sure it may not make sence to the parents she would do that especailly if she was a trust young adult) Had baught her a drink, then gave it her. How can we be sure he didnt put something in her drink? He did mention in the video he wanted to have sex with her. He also something along the lines of “she didnt look so good, she looked pail, but I knew she wanted it.” (Another hint right there, purely odvious) this could mean one of two things 1. he did dropped a drug in her dirnk to make her lossen up and it reacted in a way that wasnt suppost to happen, like some sort of allergic reaction or a mixtuare of medications (is she had been on any others) plus the contributing alcohal. or 2. He knew what we was doing dropped the drug in her drink just to have sex with her then planned to dipose of her.

But think about this.
For the first theory- Why would he have called his friend in panic even if it was an innocent mistake? Sure, he gave her something illegal and didnt want to get arrested or imprisoned, but it just doesnt make sence. Killing her was not another alturnitve it just doesnt fit the situation.

I know this had something to do with a drug dropped in her drink, thought we have to no body to do an otopsy on. If you put together all the peices, it fits perfectly into the puzzle.

Facts are:
HE DID NOT try and revive her
HE DID NOT care for her safety
amd
HE IS NOT innocent.
Their are two criminals, him and his friend that took her out into the ocean.

I am sure I am not the only one who has thought of this but it was the on thing I could conclude taking all the information I know and have it all fit perfectly and make sence.

I think its painfully odvious he is LYING!
His stories change!

Have they not done a lie detector test on him???

We need to get the stories straight to move forward here… She did nothing what SO EVER to desirve this, no one does.

There are reports that Van der Sloot sold her? Please stop jerking this family around because they have been through enough. I know that they thought this before and it is coming up again in 08? If she is still alive, i feel so bad for her and the family yet hopeful that she will be reunited with her mom. The Lifetime movie “Human Trafficing” really upset me and it is aweful that they practice this in Aruba, Curacao, Mexico, Thialand, etc.. The movie is on lifetime or LMN and is 4 hours long, but very moving and informative.
I have heard the Amy Bradley story as well. It is very upsetting. After I heard about Natalee I decided to never go to those places or cruises because of Amy. I would be so afraid that my family would be taken away.
There is a dateline special about HT as well. Her mother must be going through hell from all of this. The outlook is not good for the girls that are sold because they are usually thrown away. The government states that they are trying to stop HT.
I hope that some people out there that watch porn realize that some of those girls are victims of HT.
It stinks but you cannot even have a family vacation overseas anymore because your young child is prey to these sickos. All I can state is that Lifetime’s HT really made my eyes open and I hope that Natalee is not going through that hell. If she is still alive then people need to be honest and BRING HER BACK!!!!
Seeing the news on my computer really put a knot in my stomach again.
We need honesty here because if this is not true it is not fair to Natalee’s family. Don’t say the same thing again 3 years later. I am sick of these 3 guys always changing their story.
You can also help with HT there is a website for it and all of the young girls that were taken away are shown with all of the latest information. These sickos need to stop buying people. What is really sick is that there are AMERICAN men buying services and doing horrible things to children as young as 4.
I know I will never leave this country. It is just not safe. Bring all of our children back home!!! Alive and in one piece. It just goes to show you that it is a sick and crazy world out there. My heart goes out to her mom.

Gosh, Greta van Susteren has even assembled her show and panel all round the table, and has spoken about it for over an hour, and promises a further explanation of it on Monday; it’s Tuesay, now, so this is awful, of course. She even had Natallee’s mother on the phone. Oh, well.

It never fails to sicken this writer that our nation…our world daily deteriorates even further due to the depths of deprivation that the liberal disease is so happy to engage in: This writer feels a fathomless sorrow and pain for the Holloway family due to all surrounding Natalee and though this writer is sure to be called every sort of name and diagnosed under some pychosis by the whack jobs in the world it is my indelible belief that Natalee is very much alive….. One does not have to possess but a mere tiny amount of intelligence to see that the apparent true lack of concern by Aruban authorities as well as Vandersloot,etc re: all of this is due to fact that not only do they know there is no Murder case but as well there will be no answers otherwise re: Natalee due to fact that there are those involved that range to highest levels of Aruban government and since White Slavery is big business for them. Aruba is but a hub for the White slave traffic…at least it was before Natalee’s mother had the guts and determination to fight for her daughter…and now due to the unwanted attention such traffic has been rerouted for time being. Why would anyone in Aruba including Vandersloot and company worry about a murder charge when they all know that somewhere within the sad hell of white slavery this beautiful girl exists: This writer has no doubt that she is alive however she is probably so very induced by drugs that she is even unaware of who she is anymore or too mentally/emotionally depleted to know or care anymore. Note* This is an extremely beautiful young American girl and within White Slavery trade girls of this caliber are quite literally worth their weight in gold and there are many of whom will pay that weight. My entire heart,soul,and prayers go out to the Holloway family and I really believe that if you keep your focus on God above and your daughter below then you will find her! People the only way to combat this sadness as a whole is to simply land blow upon blow to the economy of places like Aruba until they are dying financially from lack of tourism dollars: Never allow your daughters to travel to places like Mexico,Aruba, Venezuela,etc unless they are in full time company of youselves or other trusted/known family and friends because this crime that has happened to Natalee and her family is as well a market and it is a market that never closes. It is sad that in this once great nation the disease of liberalism has spread to where contagions such as homosexuality,pedophilia,abortion,drug use,drug dealing,etc,etc is seen as a right by so many truly useless beings and where the true right to exist in a normal world where things are God ordained and otherwise moral and correct is considered an infringement on their “rights”!

Can the FBI dispatch the pictures of Natalee, Amy and any other missing girls in that geographical areas to the Naval Department and ask the navy to look out for the girls when they are in the bars, brothels, night clubs? Also to the US Embassy in the neighbourhood islands of Aruba and seek the local policemen’s assistance when they do the random check? I believe the girls are “sold” rather than “dead”.

Please, this is not about a girl wanting to feel beautiful or needed or any self-esteem issue.
It is about a young girl that feels invinsible. Come on, you were young once. Feeling like nothing can harm you. Natalie’s only weakness was her perfection in an imperfect world. Come on, she had straight A’s, doctor to be, full ride scholarship. Never gave her parents any reason to worry. She had every right to celebrate her graduation and accomplishments. In this case, she drank too much and lost control of her own safety. I’m sure she wasn’t the only one that night. But she was not use to drinking and celebrating and was taken advantage of. I have a young daughter that I relate to when I hear this story. I use this story to educate her on how drinking and loosing control can be dangerous. If Natalie had been use to drinking, had of been use to the party scene maybe she would have had more control. But no, she was the perfect young lady, on the holiday of her life to celebrate all of the hard work and accomplishments she had made at this early stage of her life and about to commence on the second phase of a promising career. Her parents should be so proud. Live on her memory. She was just a young naive innocent young lady that didn’t make it in this cruel world. But there was a purpose in this story that has touched many parents and young ladies. A Christian purpose bigger than what we can understand or comprehend, but one that we can have faith in. I hope the parents read this and find comfort. She accomplished more in her young age than many accomplish in a lifetime and you should feel so proud. My daughter is 15. I hope you find yours. But if you don’t, she was outstanding. Remember that.
I love you for your loss.

Just a loving mom of a daughter still in this world.
God Bless your family.
